Summary/Abstract: The article reviews the Hungarian legislation in force on the protection of the personality rights of public actors, politically exposed persons, its international legal basis and the relevant decisions of the Hungarian Constitutional Court. This study analyses in detail the current Hungarian court practice in relation to the protection of the personality rights of public actors. The study also draws basic conclusions about the nature and limits of the protection of the right to privacy of public actors, and looks at possible future directions for the development of the law and the judiciary. The author states that both the Constitutional Court and ordinary judicial practice are in favor of greater criticism of public actors.
